Teens-Facebook
Social media Web sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, have become nearly inescapable facets of modern life, particularly for kids. And a new report suggests they can have real benefits and risks for children.
When it comes to teens and their social media habits, there's some great news and some not-so-great news. It can make your child a fast learner, but it is also associated with a host of psychological disorders. Facebook can also have a positive impact on young adults' lives by helping them be more empathetic.
Research shows people who engage in more Facebook activities -- more status updates, more photo uploads, more "likes" -- also display more virtual empathy. If someone posts he had a difficult day, and you post a comment saying, "Call me if you need anything," you've just displayed virtual empathy.
Among other findings, discovered a relationship between heavy Facebook use and narcissism in teens. In another of Rosen's studies, students who frequently checked Facebook during study sessions also reported lower grades.
Facebook isn't the leading cause of all these symptoms they described, but it is a major contributor to them all. I think the leading cause of narcissism is caused by the lack of emotional support from parents. I'm no doctor, but parents who push their kids aside for their own selfish reasons, or who literately don't have the time like single parents or divorced parents leave their kids to figure out emotions and the world for themselves. This makes them less empathetic to others, and more instinctive, like animals. And that's just how they behave, like animals. They search to gain things in life instinctively with no rearguard or care for others as they would if man still lived in a natural sense. It also explains the large outcry for more freedoms. Living in a structured society with laws and rules hampers their freedom. That's why we need morals in this country, whether or not religion is involved. This is heading the wrong way in the Evolutionary sense.
On the other side Facebook makes shy persons more outgoing and sociable.
"For this to happen, it works better if kids have parents that they can engage with. The best rule of thumb is to be 'friends' with your child on Facebook. If a kid won't friend a parent, it's usually a sign that something's not right,"
